Your thoughts are the same as mine right down to the completely irrelevant 3rd session. I appreciate where Litro is coming from as magazine, but he had no place in the session. I was also completely disappointed that the 3rd session was titled "Creative Writing." I would've appreciated a far more direct approach from both speakers: Litro- submit stuff, we don't pay, but our exposure is great. And completelynovel.com- we're new, have no track record, but are enthusiastically looking to build our database with you hungry lot. Unfortunately, they didn't manage to do that and I fought the urge to walk out of that session. As you say though, the rest of the sessions made up for that woefully unfortunate chunk of the day. Worth it, but next time I may not fight the walk-out impulse. <abbr><em>Jen’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.regularjen.com/archives/2009/06/02/wine-anyone/" rel="nofollow">Wine anyone?</a></abbr></em> Really good report on the event.
